Another Catnllnn got two near misses on a lnrge destroyer with 500-poundcrs nnd another did the same with a light cruiser. Although "near miss" sounds harmless, near misses as defined by bombnrdicrs nro bombs close enough to work serious damage on tlio tnrgct by pressure nnd fragmentation. In their turn the Japs were doing well ngalnst the bombers. Antl-nircrnft, which is not pnrtlculnrly dnmnglng to most fnst combnt planes, is bru tally punishing to ships ns lnrge and slow as tho Catnlinns. In the hnrbor that day three of the Japs' huge Knwnnishl four- engine flying boats lny moored, evidence thnt the Jnp holds ser ious intentions of moving in to stny. Ono Catnllnn dropped low enough to strnfo tho cumber some flying hnyrncks nnd left them burning.

Cruiser Attacked A torpedo carrying Catalina varied its routine by attacking a heavy cruiser standing up to Kis ka from the south. He came in low, made a long clean run de spite the blast of metal coming at him and launched his "tin fish." The torpedo went into the water and the peppered plane zoomed out as tho cruiser turned to avoid attack.

It was the western hemis phere premiere of Dmitri Shos takovich's new Seventh Sym phony, and Arturo Toscaninl's baton led 110 members of the NBC Symphony orchestra to bring to the American radio audience the voice of its ally across the sea. The work portrayed a peace ful people beset by war, their massing to resist and, In Its final movements, signified victory with a rushing, martial theme. The applause of the audience too, was for Toscanlni's direction of the orchestra that played from photographic copies made from a microfilm of the original score brought here by airplane and motor car from Kuibyshev, Rus sia, in a tiny (an.

It was a clean hit. Whether she sank is a matter for her historians to record. The plane didn't wait to see. The first bombing flights June 17 found something new in the way of trouble. Nobody had seen the Jap carriers for several days but now carrier Zeros were working over the island. It seemed to indicate the carriers' close proximity but no contact was made during the day. While American bombers kept up their round trip destruction the Japs made a few tentative stabs eastward. Observation planes scouted among the isl ands as far as Umnak, just east of Dutch Harbor. Several attacks on Kiska were driven off by Zeros but others got through. Army bombers re ported two direct hits on a heavy cruiser which resulted in an ex plosion followed by a soaring mushroom of black smoke and yellow flames. The fight goes on through the gloom of night and the practi cally identical gloom of day.
